I am involved quite extensively in the making of what I believe to be a valuable independent documentary. It is based on George Ponsonby’s excellent book London Calling, and has the working title How the BBC Stole the Referendum. We have already done a few hours filming of my contribution.
The film is being directed by Alan Knight. It still requires some finance, having raised over £12,000 so far from crowd sourcing. If any readers of this blog can make a contribution, it would be gratefully received. I vouch for the good faith and commitment of the production team, though I am not in any sense connected with the management or finances.
I should like to ask for a couple of other bits of help as well. Can anybody find the BBC footage of the appalling Gavin Esler puff piece for the “Vote No Borders” PR campaign. The BBC broadcast it repeatedly on every TV news programme on 2 May 2014, but seem to have managed to erase all trace of it from the internet. It might also be useful if somebody could take a little video footage of the company nameplate of Acanchi Ltd at 24 Chiswell Street, London, EC2Y 4YX. Footage of the nameplate, the street sign and a little of the surroundings, just to visually establish it is in London. The technical quality of that little bit of video is not terrifically important.
UPDATE
See Gill R’s comment below. The company may be at Unit 311 Business Design Centre, 52 Upper Street, London N1 0QH. If anyone can easily get to either address and see what they can film it would still be helpful.
“Second the memo wasn’t written by Carmichael it was written by a junior civil servant who has been cleared of all wrong doing. Leaking it would not constitute slander or indeed libel.”

Who would’ve given the permission to leak such a document, (Fluffy the nickname of David Mundell, given to him by friends), Mundell the Governor General to Scotland, must’ve know about the document, yet he denied any knowledge of the neferious scribble.
I find that very difficult to believe, Mundell would surely,as head, of the department had full knowledge of the content of the memo.
Fred:
And a blowjob ism’t sex in America. What part of the planet are you on, Mr Bassett? Trumpet Major?
Identical posts, down to the inverted commas, from Lysias at 4:04 and Giyane at 4:21pm.
Did someone’s finger slip?
The postings are not identical. Someone needs to look again.
Hababkuk, the entrails from sheep they put into cattle feed gives them bovine spongiform encephalopathy, or garbage in – garbage out disease. You’ve been eating too many hot dogs from Cheltenham filled with badger corpses from the side of the road.
Here’s a jolly piece…
“The life and crimes of Iain Duncan Smith. The ‘quiet man’ should have kept a little quieter.”

“I find that very difficult to believe, Mundell would surely,as head, of the department had full knowledge of the content of the memo.”
There are a lot of things hard to believe in this case.
Here is what I think happened though we will never know.
At a meeting with the French Ambassador Nicola Sturgeon jokingly and off the record made a quip about preferring Cameron to Miliband. A French civil servant not being accustomed to British humour or realising it was off the record wrote it down. He passed on his notes of the meeting to a British civil servant over the phone. The British civil servant made a record of the conversation but realising something wasn’t just right he added that that part may have been “lost in translation” meaning it may have been a joke which was lost in the translation, the meeting was held in English. The memo came to the attention of one of Carmichael’s aids who informed him of the gist of it, but not the “lost in translation” bit, while on a flight to America and asked if he should leak it. Carmichael decided that if this were in fact true it would be in the public interest for them to know. After the publication of the memo Sturgeon contacted the French Ambassador and they decided that rather than try to explain it would be better if they both just denied it.
No way to know but to my mind that is the most likely chain of events.
RoS, I think Habby has clarified a little after your comment. I was alluding ‘wacko’ to the suggestion that Craig is being ‘blackmailed’ by the spooks, in the way the moderation takes place on the blog.
Btw not ‘world leader’, but ‘world teacher. Still lets leave that for another time.
Hambadger
You’ve been banned before and shot by off-duty SAS. How come you’re still here, are you a children’s legend from Beatrix Potter?

Giyane, unless I’ve had my wall chart upside down all these years, I’m under the impression a BJ isn’t sex anywhere.
Craig is not being blackmailed by the spooks, unless you mean Karimov’s daughter. You don’t half think up some tripe you badger trolls. You’re not supposed to bite the government’s teats you bugger.
Today’s Top Tip
Convince people you are a clairvoyant by announcing just before the BBC news starts “And here are today’s reasons for hating Muslims.”
RoS
you’re going to get us all deleted talking about wall charts. The trolls are supposed to be reducing discussion about zionist war crimes, but Craig’s readership wall charts are going up like the Himalayas. Can we get Brian Blessed to come and piss on the GCHQ flag?
~~~~~The British people were dimly aware of rampant exploitation, murder, treachery and sexual exploitation being committed in their name in the colonial era, but were either too afraid or too involved in it to object.~~~~~
The English and then British people knew as much as they wanted to. There were court cases in 1715 and 1735 (or thereabouts) to try to prohibit slavery in England and then there was the Somerset’s Case in 1772. In 1787 Warren Hastings was impeached (and got off, things haven’t changed much). The crimes of empire have always been criticised by normal English and British people, hence their exclusion from power.
“Correction: Mary did not “comment”, whether educationally and informatively or otherwise.”
She said more in one single post, Habsburger, than you have by spamming your nonsense here for as long as you have been commandeered to this side.
And what would you know of US naval officers conduct, you can’t even tie your shoes.
I have it on good authority, that no one intelligent and interested believes in this ISIS shit. They all know it has a tag MADE in AMERICA.
They do however believe in this Global Warming Bollocks and are planning to protest against it in the Snow.
Still – that’s 50% correct – enough for a pass mark.
They are of course just waiting for us old sods to die off. They blame our generation for effin everything up.
I have no defence against that.
We can hardly blame the kids.
They even understand the propaganda and how it works…
So maybe there is hope yet.

Fred : Here is what I think happened though we will never know ……..
OK, got it. Everybody involved in Frenchgate misunderstood, broke the rules, or lied, except Carmichael who believed he was acting honestly and in the public interest. Any other controversies you’d care to analyse for us? What about the dodgy dossier, old Honest Tony made a genuine mistake with the best of intentions, eh? And how about Fred West? A much misunderstood altruist?

Slavery continued after that in Scotland there was the colliers and salters act 1775 and the colliers act 1799 to try and stamp it out.

…. and the SNP did nothing to stop it.
I allow all kinds of people to post all kinds of things all the time, ecause I believe it is right to do so. Much to the detriment of my own reputation. The Establishment’s placemen frequently try to discredit me by association with something somebody posted in the comments section.
I regard it as a kind of social service, allowing people to stay in the warm who might otherwise feel compelled to hang around supermarket car parks shouting at people.
Thank you Craig, I’m going to one now , fully shouted out and glowing slightly with Alaskan, gently radiated home=made fish pie. And a slice of Hovis …

I wonder if that will keep the Obsessives and ConspiraLoons quiet for just a little while?

Who though are the carers and who the residents?
I wonder – will there be “a breathless hush in the Close tonight”? 🙂

Or better – a stunned silence?

Well it surely must be a promising step, in the right direction, that Nicola Sturgeon FM, and leader of the SNP,shared a stage last night with Jeremy Corbyn leader of the Labour party.
Both came together to oppose the UK Tory governments Trade Union Bill, Sturgeon and the SNP are trying to prevent it from becoming law in Scotland.
Sturgeon said the bill was an attack on workers rights, and also their human rights. The FM continued with, the government seeks to apply the 40% threshold to trade unions, when they (Tories) couldn’t even command 40% of the vote themselves to get elected.
This Tory government is effectively trying to curtail the unions right to strike, that cherished right was fought long and hard for by our forefathers, and must not be impinged upon in any way.
Former Greek finance minister Yanis Varoufakis, made a guest appearance, at Glasgow’s Concert Hall.
“Well it surely must be a promising step, in the right direction, that Nicola Sturgeon FM, and leader of the SNP,shared a stage last night with Jeremy Corbyn leader of the Labour party.”
I agree, better together.
